Custom league structure doesn't allow regular junior league

This feature was in the earlier versions of FHM 4 and no longer present.

Creating a custom league in a custom format for NHL used to let one still use the 2017 AHL and 2017 CHL league formats.

I understand why 2017 AHL format wouldn't be available if it's a custom NHL format, but I can't create a junior league that follows the current CHL format in an NHL-custom league. The option isn't there anymore.

You can create with 2017 NHL and AHL to create a 2017 CHL option, but the option is not available in a customized NHL environment

An example of what I'm doing - a 32-team NHL with custom scheduling. A 32-team AHL to mirror the NHL. I want the junior leagues to remain as they are (2017 CHL), but that option isn't available, only NHL-style formatted options (Custom, 31 teams, 30 teams, etc).

Previously this was possible. It's not present now. Curious as to why this feature was disabled.

Not sure why it's like that, I don't remember any specific change that would've required removing it for the non-NHL setup. Might've been an unintentional side-effect of adding the custom setup options, I'll see if we can add it back.

I was wondering the same, as it didn't seem logistically that it would need to be affected on the outset, but maybe there was something underlying.

Thanks for checking it out
